X-Message-Number: 31271 From: Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2008 10:23:46 EST Subject: Fwd: [Venturists] Wm O'Rights Fund, Round 2 ____________________________________ From: Ettinger To: Sent: 12/16/2008 10:15:24 A.M. Eastern Standard Time Subj: Re: [Venturists] Wm O'Rights Fund, Round 2 I'll send another $1,000 today or tomorrow. It's not exactly a hardship for me, since it won't change my lifestyle any, but anything I spend or give will reduce my estate, which means it will reduce the amount CI gets when I die, so it is more or less equivalent to CI involuntarily giving Bill a discount. Bob In a message dated 12/16/2008 2:06:40 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, writes: William O'Rights has been bravely battling cancer for months now (actually much longer than that) and his condition is increasingly desperate. He is in a lot of pain now and his tumor is starting to choke off his breathing. He wants to be cryopreserved if the end comes and has signed up with CI but is lacking funds. So far we have raised about $12,000 of about $30,000 that would be needed. We must not stop here. Today I sent another $1,000 to the Venturist fund for Mr. O'Rights. (This is a hardship inasmuch as I am not wealthy, but one I can bear this time.) I hope as many as possible of you will be able to donate *something*. It doesn't have to be a lot if it would be too much for you, small amounts from many people will add up. (But give generously if you can.) Results of the poll on the medallion are encouraging but right now time is running short and it may not be possible to use this method for this case. I hope you will be able to donate anyway. The Christmas season is a time for giving--maybe some of you can consider passing up something you were going to buy that you really could do without to help this unfortunate person. The Venturist organization is a 501c3 and contributions are tax deductible. To donate you can go to the Venturist website: _http://www.venturishttp:/_ (http://www.venturist.org/) or _http://www.quantiumhttp://wwwhttp://www_ (http://www.quantium.plus.com/venturist/) Or send your check payable to The Society for Venturism to Society for Venturism 11255 SSR 69 Mayer, AZ 86333 Be sure to put "O'Rights fund" in the memo field or somewhere easy to see. I also want to extend this appeal as far as possible to other sympathetic groups and am looking for any advice. Thanks for your kind consideration, best wishes.
